A few months ago, Allison brought home "Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?" from the library. We brought it to bed and I made her read it to me. This was the first book that she read more than a few words at a time. I was so proud of her. The look on her face when she finished was priceless.
We are reading together every night and practicing her "popcorn" words. She knows all the words on the list we received from school and several other words I have added to her "popcorn bucket". She is up to about 70 words in her bucket.
Recently she was tested on whether she knew her popcorn words at school. If they knew more than the ones they learned so far, they could read them off the list that was given to them. Allison told me that she knew all but two, so I asked her which two. She looked at me like I was crazy and said "I don't know Mom - I couldn't read them, so how would I know what words they were?" Ha ha. I was thinking that maybe the teacher told her what the words were when they were finished.
